After announcing his retirement on Monday, Kyle Beckerman met with the media one last time. Below is a transcript of his final media availability.
On what led him to the decision to retire:
“I guess first of all, I was just extremely proud of all I was able to do in this game, I just felt extremely proud about that and just a lot of positive things. When I started thinking about it thinking about it I guess I just looked at this past year. I always wanted to be able to help on the field as best I could, and, as I looked at this year, I knew, being 38, I was not going to start every game or play, but I was open and whether it was going in for a little bit here or there, or starting games.
